Accountability has to mean for something...
Komisarek never worked out for the Leafs but he's one of the most classy people I've ever met. He puts the blame solely on himself for not being about to produce under Carlyle.
Do we not want accountability? Ron Wilson played Komisarek every game he could because he was making 4.5M.
Randy Carlyle comes along and guys like Tim Connolly, Komisarek, Lombardi, Armstrong, MacArthur, Grabovski are nowhere to be seen.
Who's right there?
The coach.
Excuses are for losers. You need coaches like Babcock, Julien, Quenville (Seabrook had one game in the playoffs where he played only ~10 minutes), Carlyle, Hitchcock if you want to win the Cup.
Not every team has Crosby and Malkin who they can just ride shotgun on and coach. Glad LACK, MacArthur, Grabovski aren't on the team.
If you want your coach to be your friend...you get Ron Wilson.
If you want your coach to hold you accountable for the mistakes you make...you get Cup winners.
